Humidor
Anyone got a recommendation for a good small humidor (say a box and 1/2). Mine bit the dust (so to speak)

How much do you want to spend? Is this purely functional, or should it look nice too?
I have a few humidors that I use for small amounts of sticks, but my storage humidor (around 700 cigars) is a giant coleman cooler. Don't laugh, most guys I know who have as many cigars as I do use coolers as well.

Try thompsoncigars.com at least I think that's the website. They have a nice one for about $40, sometimes with a special of 25 of their house brand, which are just OK.

Tupperware with a Creedo and a piece of cedar from a cigar box.

Seriously, if you're just looking for function, I wouldn't get the traditional spanish-cedar lined box type of humidor, I would either go cheapo (small cooler or tupperware) or get an acrylic "cigar jar." Remember though that overhumidifying your gars is just as bad as letting them dry out, so blow your wad on a digital hygrometer (western digital makes one for around $20-25) and keep it under 70 degrees F and around 66-68% relative humidity. What kinds of cigars do you like to smoke?

When my primary humidor was full, I got one of these for overflow:
 Kind of cheesy, but it works great and holds several boxes. Not too bad for 87 bucks. |

I have the cheepo Thompson one Hugh describes.
Bought it from their online store. It's good enough for the small stash I keep on hand. Note to: JW and Superman....I'm saving some nice Cohibas for you both.

I smoke....as of late.. I currently have these in my box and change up daily.
Monte Cristo..White Line Churchills Partagas...Black Label..Pyramids Hoyo..Excaliber...Madro..limited edition..Churchills Carlos Torano Tributes...Churchills An for my everyday cigar... CoHiba (Dominican) Churchills I also have smoked Romeo & Juliette Churchills that come in the tube...just don't have any in the box at the moment... The BEST CIGAR I have ever smoked is the Partagas 150 A's...it exceeded the very best Cubans... The cigar I AVOID are the Arturo Fuentes...I smoked them back in 1990 when they first hit the American market...I thought they were a good cheap cigar...but not a good expensive cigar...

Fuentes is the maker of various other brands of cigars...I don't recall seeing them as Fuentes before 1990 or so..that was the point where Fuentes started to become popular...you could find them readily in cigar stores across the country after that.
